Silver Predator Corp. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
SPD was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on May 16, 2006. SPD owns the Copper King copper-silver project ("Copper King") in the Coeur d’Alene Silver District of northern Idaho, U.S. and other early stage exploration properties in the U.S. As of June 30, 2023, SPD is 51.82% owned by Till Capital Corporation ("Till Capital"). SPD's head office is located at 666 Burrard St. Suite 1700, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2X8, Canada.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MEASUREMENT
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting . These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and stock-based awards, which have been measured at fair value. SPD’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars. Reference herein to $ is to Canadian dollars. Reference herein to US$ is to United States dollars.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Audit Committee for issuance on July 28, 2023.
Basis of consolidation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPD and its subsidiary.
A subsidiary is an entity that SPD controls, either directly or indirectly. Control is defined as the exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with an investee and the ability to affect those returns through power over the investee. Control over an investee exists when SPD has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns. That control is generally evidenced through owning more than 50% of the voting rights or currently exercisable potential voting rights of a company’s share capital. All intra-group balances and transactions, including unrealized profits and losses arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the results of the subsidiary to bring its accounting policies in line with those used by SPD.
SPD’s significant subsidiary is as follows:
| SPD’s significant subsidiary is as follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Name of Subsidiary | Place of Incorporation |
Proportion of Ownership Interest |
Principal Activity |
| Silver Predator US Holding Corp. ("SPUS") | Nevada, USA | 100% | U.S. Holding Company |
Significant accounting policies
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies set forth in Note 3 of the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
